Capture the Humans!

[Nirur Torir]

You think about releasing flag pheromones to attract gun-wielding humans, but repeatedly attracting people just to turn them into flags is getting old. You'll just make friends the old fashioned way: WORLD DOMINATION!



You might have overextended just a bit. Growing up in a void isn't good for learning strategic skills. Blue and red have most of the world split between themselves, and you feel thankful that they didn't care about Africa, but the yellow guerrillas are entrenched in that place that's not quite New Zealand.

It is moderately worrisome that New Zealand isn't on this map. You briefly consider how you will improve cartographical standards once you are the undisputed later of the world.

You snap out of your contemplations once you realize that you have only five flags to defend an entire continent, and that there is nothing plastic Risk pieces love more than capturing flags.

Send the blue flags to Saudi Arabia to convert the people there to your religion. Blue begets blue flags. They will learn to appreciate us in time.

[Parsely]

Good thing flags are worth ten thousand troops and teardrops are only worth ten! ATTACK!!

[Remuthra]

Engineer some flagships to protect our shores.

Automatic +1 because flagships has "flags" in it.

We ted a game of Risk. I'm so happy I could cry little plastic tears which would perhaps then become a mighty African army. Name our mighty army Joe Young.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Pray everyone continues to not care about Africa.

Convince everyone else to focus on attacking each other and not us.

take the extra troops from holding africa and deploy them in the obvious positions. i forget the names of the countries.

We don't have any extra troops at this time.

[fractalman]

oh. I see.
change the color of our top-left flag to red, the top-right flag to blue. I don't expect this deception to last longer than one turn, but one turn should be all we need.

[Nirur Torir]

You first switch some flags around, hoping to confuse the would-be invaders. It ends up with a bit of awkwardness, but the deception works.



You then decide to start work on a flagship flag ship. This not being the Age of Sail, and ship building facilities being mysteriously absent from the world, you instead spend all of your reinforcement points working on a space program. The Cape of Good Hope is an excellent place for it regardless of what the nay-sayer yellow flags say. You run out of reinforcement points before you can buy paint for it.

*starts laughing*

[Remuthra]

Finish the ship so we can conquer the SPACE! territory.
